Item Details
Description
White jade, China.

White jade bottle in the form of a fingered citron, also known as Buddah’s hand Foshou, a very laborious task due to the its hardness of the stone. The jade is mottled red-brown due to iron deposits, very translucent and the color a light, greenish white when light is shone through it. The “fingers” have been formed with great care and at the top of the bottle is the stem with foliage. The stopper and spoon are one piece and made of dark brown horn.
